It seems that occassionally the game was giving extra turns to online players even if they had not completed a square. This was frustrating for both players (people getting falsely accused of cheating and others seeing their tactics ruined by an unexpected extra turn).

Unfortunately we haven’t been able to reproduce the bug consistently, so it was very hard to fix. We now have made some changes which make us pretty sure the bug has been killed. Once Amazon has review the update we will disable all older versions, so that everyone will be playing bugless.

Have fun playing!

And about the little surprise we announced yesterday: we have added notifications to the game! From now on you will get a message whenever it’s your turn or when someone is talking to you. For this we use Google’s C2DM technologies, which unfortunately is only available for Android versions 2.2 and higher. Also it is not available for Amazon users, but we will solve that problem soon, too!

Turns out that Amazon has a seperate approval procedure for Kindle Fire, which takes a little more time. So we’d like to welcome everyone coming from the Amazon Appstore, but we are still waiting for a lot of Fire People to go online!

* We fixed a little bug that made the app crash very occasionally
* We fixed a little bug in the chat: if all is well, you can now write any character in any language imaginable
* We changed the way the rankings are diplayed: from now on you will see “nr. 100+” instead of “nr. 101″, ”nr. 500+” instead of “nr. 621″, “nr. 1000+” instead of “nr. 1305″, …… you get the point.

Enjoy!

If you were wondering why: it’s because of this little article on Androidworld.nl.

We woud like to say: “Welkom mensen uit Nederland” and thank you Androidworld!

That’s why we have decided to temporarily merge the two board sizes “average” and “many”. This way it’s much easier (and faster!) for us to match up two players for a game of Square Wars.
